I turned to Viktor Nikolaevich proposed that he wrote a letter of resignation. Victor Shokin implemented the reforms, which the GPU resisted for decades: the deprivation of the general prosecutor's supervision, the establishment of the National Anti-Corruption Bureau and the State Bureau of Investigation, and the like.

On the one hand. However, the GPU, unfortunately, was not able to gain the trust of society. And that is why on the agenda is the question of the resignation of Attorney General ", - said in a statement.
